  2. Year 2038 problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem

    The problem exists in systems which measure Unix time—the number of seconds elapsed since the Unix epoch (00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970)—and store it in a signed 32-bit integer. The data type is only capable of representing integers between −(2 31 ) and 2 31 − 1 , meaning the latest time that can be properly encoded is 2 31 − 1 ...

    One trillionth of a second. nanosecond: 10 −9 s: One billionth of a second. Time for molecules to fluoresce. shake: 10 −8 s: 10 nanoseconds, also a casual term for a short period of time. microsecond: 10 −6 s: One millionth of a second. Symbol is μs millisecond: 10 −3 s: One thousandth of a second. Shortest time unit used on ...

  4. Millisecond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millisecond

    A millisecond (from milli-and second; symbol: ms) is a unit of time in the International System of Units equal to one thousandth (0.001 or 10 −3 or 1 / 1000) of a second [1] [2] or 1000 microseconds. A millisecond is to one second, as one second is to approximately 16.67 minutes.

  5. Metric time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_time

    Metric time is the measure of time intervals using the metric system.The modern SI system defines the second as the base unit of time, and forms multiples and submultiples with metric prefixes such as kiloseconds and milliseconds.

  6. Timestamp-based concurrency control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timestamp-based...

    Each object in the database is given two timestamp fields which are not used other than for concurrency control: R T ( O j ) {\displaystyle RT(O_{j})} is the timestamp of the last transaction that read the value of the object ( T S ( T r ) {\displaystyle TS(T_{r})} , where T r {\displaystyle T_{r}} is the last transaction that read the value of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL-92

    SQL-92 was the third revision of the SQL database query language. Unlike SQL-89, it was a major revision of the standard. Aside from a few minor incompatibilities, the SQL-89 standard is forward-compatible with SQL-92. The standard specification itself grew about five times compared to SQL-89.

    The original DARPA Internet Protocol's RFC describes [1]: §1.4 TTL as: . The Time to Live is an indication of an upper bound on the lifetime of an internet datagram.It is set by the sender of the datagram and reduced at the points along the route where it is processed.
